Jarred Cosart (SP, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: After putting an illegal sports gambling scandal behind him, Jarred Cosart has been generally solid this year for the Miami Marlins, sporting a 3.67 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 34.1 innings with a 20:11 K:BB ratio.

Of course, one must ask the question - will this type of production continue? Well, probably not. Although the 24 year-old is still quite young, he's never posted an MLB ERA under 3.70 in a full season. However, Cosart has shown signs of improvement over the past three seasons in ERA, WHIP and strikeout rate.

Perhaps this could be a breakout year for the young Cosart. In any case, if he can improve upon his brief MLB stint last season and produce an ERA anywhere close to 3.50 and a WHIP anywhere near 1.10, he will be well worth owning in deeper league formats.
